GPS, IMU, Onboard processing experiences?
Dear All,
I'm working on a small UAV research project. We are building a fixed wing plane, 12kg, 2.2m wing span to give an idea. We'll have GPS onboard and some basic IMU.
Does anyone have experience with:
- Micropilot autopilots? Can we expect issues with it?
- PNI TCM3 sensors 3-axis tilt sensors? Anyone used it? It seems interesting with regards to camera orientation (we are interested in aerial mapping, 3D extraction, realtime video stitching).
- Onboard processing? We are experimenting with an EM-X270 board, what are others using? Are there issues we have to pay special attention to?
- What do people use for data and video transmission? We are legally bound to 10mW power in 2.4Mhz and 25mW power in 5.8Mhz. ... a real pain. Are there people out with experience with high gain antennas? Other ways of transmission? Alternatives? Low speed data transmission will be handled over GPRS which seems to work fine (on the ground at least).
